  My face burns so bad…
  General (0)

  I shaved for the first time in almost four months last night. That was a bad decision -- My face feels like I have a Foreman Grill wrapped around it. Normally I just trim my facial hair on the lowest setting of my beard trimmer. In my head, trimming made it look like Brad Pitt's stubble. (minus the face of a superstar) When I saw a photo of myself, it looked more like Kevin Federline's skanky beard. Why didn't anyone tell me?

  I had a good weekend

  I'm rocking the Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses and the popped collar I had a great time Saturday night. Mal and I went over to Hillary's for a bit and met her friend Eli (actually Elizabeth) and her two ferrets. This was my first ferret experience, and I have to say they are cute for being big rodents. Tony's band, Romancing The Bone, played at Friend's later that night and put on a very good show. There was a pretty good crowd there to watch. No one ever told me that Nick, my roommate from freshman year, is the drummer now. I didn't even ...

  These are my demands
  General (0)

  Cartman is safe for now. This is Penny's toy of Eric Cartman, which I have taken hostage until all cheesy clip art, biased reporting, generic story ideas and novelty fonts (including comic sans) are released from the newspaper's computers. Once these demands are met, the hostage will be released to the proper authorities.

  Changing my name
  General (1)

  Just a note to everyone: I'm changing my name to One-Wood... because I'm doing a lot of driving. If you don't get that joke it's because a) I'm extremely tired, or b) you've never played golf. I guess either way it was lame. Oh well. I've put almost a thousand miles on my car in the past four days. St. Louis and back twice, Champaign, Danville and my Charleston-Mattoon commute a few times. I'm getting about 35 miles a gallon in Suzie (my Saturn) right now, so it could be a lot worse. Dad says he gets about 16 mpg in his truck. My story ...

  Happy Birthday Dad
  General (0)

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! This is the only picture of you that I had on my computer. You should be thankful that I haven't scanned the photo with you and mom in your matching Adidas belly shirts circa 1986. Maybe for next year's birthday...

  No pressure…
  General (0)

  I'm starting to get a little nervous... I found out tonight that I get to shoot a stem-cell transplant late Wednesday night in St. Louis, which is pretty unusual for a journalist to get into. (At least I've never heard of anyone doing it, but I'm fighting the urge to research it) Now I'm getting into panic mode. I know it's not going to happen, but I keep thinking of the Seinfeld episode with the Junior Mint. I don't even like Junior Mints, but I'm still scared I'm going to drop one during the procedure. Also, I can barely watch E.R. or Nip/Tuck ...

  ‘We’re missing the mullet.’
  General (0)

  This commercial is the only reason I watched the Superbowl. I guess one good thing came from not going to the Superbowl this year... the commercials this year were great. The nerd that I am is in love with the MacGyver MasterCard commercial. It's the only reason I watched the game. The MasterCard Priceless campaign website has an interview with Richard Dean Anderson and some behind the scenes footage. I thought it was funny when Anderson said that everything was right about the commercial except for not having a mullet. Since Danny posted his list of favorites from the night, I'll do the ...

  Bored at work

  I should get a job with Apple and do all of this stuff for them. Just a quick macro setup at work tonight while I was waiting for some photos to come in... my new iPod earphones look pretty cool. I wish they fit as nice as they looked. Sometimes I wonder how much money I could make working as a corporate studio photographer for places like Apple. I suppose they could pay me minimum wage and I'd still be happier there than I am now. PLus I'd probably have lots of cool toys to play with. I got into a big heated debate ...

  Now what?
  General (1)

  OK. I'm just confused now. All of the experts (and Morgan Spurlock) have been telling me that I can't eat fast food because I'll get fat, get diabetes, have a bunch of heart attacks and have a greater risk for cancer. Now I can't make my food at home because the Teflon in my pots and pans will give me cancer? I'd stick with sushi, but Charleston is not known for its fresh catch of the day. Oh, and the fish around here can give you serious problems. I guess I'm just going to eat some grass, grill a few squirrels and crows over ...
  
  

According to Facebook...
